Maybe it is a VSS issue?  Does the machine have enough free disk space?  Does
the backup hang if you switch VSS off in Bacula?

I'm starting to feel pretty lonesome on this issue.  I have no idea 
where to turn.  It's got to be something peculiar with this client, 
since I'm backing up 30 other windows workstations every night without 
any such problems.

I have a windows fd that keeps hanging.  It doesn't do it every day, 
but once it hangs it seems to need a reboot to get unwound.  Today I 
found it hung in the middle of a differential backup, so I killed the 
fd, and restarted it, and then restarted the backup.

It hung after emitting this line:

    28-May 11:06 liz2-fd JobId 17505: Generate VSS snapshots.
    Driver="VSS WinXP", Drive(s)="C"

When I did "net stop bacula-fd" on the client, bacula-fd crashed, and 
windows wanted to send a report to Microsoft, which I declined to do.

I logged in on the client and it was sitting there with the cpu 100% 
idle.    The "status client" looked like this:

    *status client=liz2-fd

I've also pretty much ruled out any network problems:

    [root@packrat ~]# ping -c 10 -s 1472 -q liz2
    PING liz2.intranet.seamanpaper.com (192.168.10.84) 1472(1500)
    bytes of data.

    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.687/0.716/0.755/0.034 ms, pipe 2
    [root@packrat ~]#


How can I find out what's going on?
